Chapter Fifty - Six

Linda

Peace.

A single word to describe death.

That's what I wanted when I closed my eyes and let the blackness take me. I had known from the moment that I closed my eyes that I would die.

But then I did not.

The moment I opened my eyes, I wanted to die.

I knew what things I have to face today if I did open my eyes. Somebody stroked my hand and my eyes snapped to his.

James.

Above him was Michael, who was towering over him. They were looking at me. I could not stand to see the sight of them. I shielded my eyes from my arm.

"Why did you save me?" I asked. My voice was already a little heavy from swallowing my tears.

Nobody answered. Then Michael spoke.

"Linda ..."

"Is my baby alive?" I asked them, dreading to hear the answer. I knew what their answer would be but a part of my poor heart still held onto the silly hope.
